Procedure Guideline for Brain Perfusion SPECT Using 99mTc Radiopharmaceuticals 3.0

TLDR

Brain perfusion SPECT is a technique that produces tomographic images of the 3‑dimensional distribution of a radiopharmaceutical, reflecting regional cerebral perfusion. The guideline aims to assist nuclear medicine practitioners in recommending, performing, interpreting, and reporting brain perfusion SPECT studies using 99m Tc radiopharmaceuticals. It provides step‑by‑step procedures for recommending, performing, interpreting, and reporting brain perfusion SPECT studies with 99m Tc radiopharmaceuticals. The guideline is organized into sections II, III, and PROCEDUREA.
